When the opnsense is directly attached to my esxi this happens:

ESXi in shutdown state (PSU is switched on):
start ESXi -> works

ESXi completly powerded of (PSU switched off):
start ESXi by attaching the power cord: ESXi boots -> cannot reach vm using the vmnetwork

once i reboot the OPNsense the VM on the ESXi is reachable.
Could this be an ARP issue?

I have seen this behavior since i use OPNsense (18.7) I even swapped the NICs (Intel on both sides)
